Coming back this year will be Yatz, the sitar player. New will be a magician, face painter, and two merchants (one selling leather goods including pouches and masks, other celtic jewelry). Also new will be the contest, "Sing for Your Supper." Much like the Gong Show and American Ideal, contestants will have five minutes max to perform any talent they have. If our three judges like one of the acts, the winner will get the price of their meal back. Someone could win or no one could. We will also have tradtional dancing.
I am inviting anyone who wishes to do rec or fencing, but they must tell me if they are coming so I can include it in my event report. This is a dry event and we can not have candles or inscence. Also all rec and fencing equipment must be locked in cars once the fighting is over. As I am being reminded as well, we can not have archers meaning no bows or crossbows. Rutgers feels they are firearms.
I hope to see many of you there. This year is going to be big with all the new additions we have made. If you have any questions, contact me at scarletknight212@yahoo.com.
